Getting treatment: That is a really tough because treatment is voluntary (with some exceptions). If she is in enough emotional pain, that may be the motivator to get her back into treatment. If treatment was a positive experience, you can give her gentle reminders of this. Let her know what your concerns are (in a supportive manner).
